MID 161 - VIMS^TM 3G Main ECM

CID 0596 - Implement ECM

FMI 14 - Special Instruction

Note: MID 161 is generated by one ECM, this ECM is referred to as the following in various venues:

• Communication Gateway 1 ECM

• VIMS Main Module, in Caterpillar® Electronic Technician Cat® (ET)

• VIMS 3G Main ECM, in this publication

This diagnostic code is recorded when the software is not matched between two electronic control modules (ECMs). One ECM may have been updated, but another may need updated to be compatible.

System Response:

This failure results in events that are logged to the VIMS 3G Main ECM that cannot be explained directly. The VIMS 3G Main ECM cannot communicate correctly with the Implement ECM.

Test Step 1.

See Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Flash Program" and follow the instructions to flash the correct software to both ECMs.

Results:

• - STOP
